Charles II, the Restoration of the Monarchy and Windsor Castle

In this video made with and for the Royal Collection Trust, Chloe Storer explores how, after 11 years of Republican rule, Charles II restored the majesty and authority of the monarchy.

It's literally impossible to dislike Charlie II. He had such a catchy song. Besides, "he loved the people and the people loved him"

You did an excellent job with your research and presentation. One of my favorite subject matter in British history. Thank you for a great video.

Watching this makes me think of the "Charles Two, I liked to party!" line from The Monarch Song in Horrible Histories.

A good presentation Historically correct. Surprised she didn't mention his debauchery, 'The Merry Monarch'? Far more darker than the nickname would suggest.

My 11th great grandfather, a lord mayor of london and master of the taylors merchants guild was knighted by Charles II personally shortly after coming to power. He was a court assistant as well. Despite his old oaths to Charles I, being imprisoned in the tower of london for a few months, was reinstated.

Thumbs up if you're here to learn about Charles III's predecessors!

He was crowned King of Scots in Scotland at Scone on 1/5/1651.

And now...Ladies and Gentlemen... HRH Charles III !

[daniels]

The irony of people abolishing the Monarchy because it was limiting freedom, only to find themselves even more oppressed by fanatical Puritans, is a very important message to be conscious of today.

This video was next up after i looked up Alec Guinness and Richard Harris in Cromwell. The girl presenting this is really cute

[angloaust]

The republic failed Cromwell's reign
Wasnt popular banning the theatre
And xmas the plague and great fire
Of london descended upon england
The dutch fleet sailed up the Thames
When charles engaged peace negotiations with holland he wasnt
Given the same courtesy as cromwell
We respected him they said!

[WOFWOFexe]

HE LOVES THE PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE LOVE HIM

[jacobbolanos]

Ok, Charles III, you know what to do: enter the Parliament and disolve it.

[Funnybriton]

Charles II was much more like his grandfather James VI and I.

Ideologically he was in agreement with his father and brother in the divine right but politically was astute enough to know when to compromise and build coalitions to outwit adversaries.

When you search for Charles the second only results for Charles III appear. I don’t know why
